Reviews of Designer Handbags

Back in early March, I reviewed Alexander McQueen's smooth and clean &quot;Wicca&quot; bag. While it is, indeed, sleek and lovely, I yearned for something more robustly...McQueen. And as of today, my wish has been granted! The &quot;Wicca&quot; satchel has been given a spectacular, ornate, dreamily embellished...

Minimal is so much harder to successfully design than elaborate - sometimes brilliant design is more about what you leave out than what you add on. This bag sets the bar at perfection. White leather finished with the texture of canvas is a smart move for a summer tote bag; complimented with...

! The Spanish design house has been up-and-coming stateside for some time now, mainly thanks to the iconic "Amazona" bag. Those who found the "Amazona" too structured for their taste will love the looser "May" bag. Less boxy and equally versatile, it has inherited Loewe's trademark streamlined...

Every time I return from LA, I bring home the discovery of at least one under-the-radar California designer. I just hopped off the plane, and this trip was no exception. Marlien Rentmeester, the West Coast Editor of Lucky magazine, turned me onto a designer that editors are crazy about: Clare...
